Chilling with Xeon

As was expected, Intel is experiencing, some, ah, "heat regulation" issues with the new Xeon chip, as reported here. The problem is showing in quad-proc servers, and has been causing performance "glitches".
On the opposite end of the scale, Intel has said that they are experiencing "supply shortages" for their low-end chips. Analysts are saying it's because Intel isn't recognizing the changing consumer markets, but Intel claims that it is because of a change in the manufacturing process.
